Is cable electricity different from battery electricity?
In general, cable electrons don't get along with battery electrons... electrons are electrons; it doesn't matter if they're in a cable, or a battery, they are the same. Batteries are always DC, but the electricity flowing through a cable does not necessarily have to be - it can be AC.
When the flashlight is on is it static or current electricity?
When the flashlight is ON , electrical current is flowing from one terminal of thebattery, through the light-bulb filament, to the other terminal of the battery.
Is the earth also like a giant battery?
No. Electricity pylons (usually called "transmission towers" in the US) are basically just supports for the wires. They are specifically designed to be insulated from the electricity flowing through the wires.
What flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field?
electricity
How is static electricity formed?
by all the electrons flowing through it
Why is electricity sometimes described as a flow of electrons?
Flowing electrons makes electricity (they flow from negative to positive. ). You need a circuit or a path for the electrons to move through, a power source like a battery or a generator, and something to use the electricity, like a light bulb...
How do hydroelectric generators produce electricity?
When flowing water is run through the machines
Is electricity kinetic energy?
Kinetic if power is flowing, Potential if power isn't flowing. If you have a circuit with a battery and a light and everything is connected (the light is on). That's kinectic since the electrons are flowing through the circuit. A battery with nothing connected to it is potential energy because the power is going anywhere.Kinetic because electricity or electrical energy is a flow of small particles called electrons.Static electricity is a form of potential energy, as it is not flowing.Therefore it can be either (just like mechanical energy).Electricity is not considered to be either kinetic or potential energy; it is its own category, electrical energy.it is not kinetic, and it can become potential if it is stored in a body, such as a battery.kineticKinetic energy is if power is flowing and potential energy is if power is not flowing.If there is a completed circuit and electrons are flowing throughout the circuit, the electric energy is kinetic energy.If there is a battery that is not connected to anything, the electric energy is potential energy.
What directs flowing water through a turbine that spins a generator to create electricity?
Tidal
What safety device ensures that electricity will flow through it when flowing downhill instead if through people?
Ground wires
What is The rate or speed of water flowing through the pipe that is like the rate of the electricity flowing through a conductor measured in?
gallons per minute could be considered analogous to amperes
How is electricity transferred from batteries to the light bulb?
Electricity is passed through a wire from battery to bulb
